Background
Background
As of March 19, 2026, the applicant (VT Crowfoot Valley Landco, LLC) withdrew the Crowsnest annexation petition based on the approval of Resolution No. 26-23. This resolution directs city staff to develop an Annexation Policy—to guide future applications and ensure they align with our community's values.
Resolution 26-23: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Castle Pines, Colorado, Concerning the Development of an Annexation Policy, Imposing a Stay on Future Annexation Applications and Accepting the Withdrawal of the Annexation Petition for Properties Known as Crowsnest Annexation

Continue following PAAC updates—we'll keep fighting to protect Castle Pines.
Let's keep the momentum!
Show up on March 24th, help shape the new Annexation Policy with fierce clarity, and make certain that every future decision honors the open spaces, wildlife corridors, small-town heart, and quality of life we refuse to surrender. This is not the end of the fight—it's the beginning of a stronger, more resident-led Castle Pines.
We're not done; we're just getting started.
Thank you to everyone who signed letters, attended meetings, shared the Red County Blue State podcast, and spoke up—your efforts created this moment.

Keep Castle Pines Connected - Stop the Crowsnest Annexation
We are a group of Castle Pines residents who refuse to let a remote, high-density satellite development drain our resources and change who we are... We oppose the proposed Crowsnest annexation because it would create a remote, disconnected island that would burden existing taxpayers with unsustainable service costs, erode our low-density community identity, fragment wildlife corridors and contradicts the 2021 Comprehensive Plan’s vision for contiguous, thoughtful growth. We advocate for sustainable development that strengthens—rather than strains—our city.
Ready to understand the full story behind the Crowsnest fight?
Listen to the March 17th Red County Blue State podcast, hosted by Emily Suyat, and hear the opposition points that matter to every Castle Pines resident.
Why this should alarm every taxpayer in Castle Pines:
Financial
Financial
It could turn into a multimillion-dollar annual deficit, forcing existing taxpayers to subsidize the roads, parks, police and services for an isolated island. Forever.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure
We would service a disconnected 750-acre island 3–5 miles from our city core via a single road (Crowfoot Valley Rd.) which could strain police response times, fire coverage, schools and water systems.
Wildlife
Wildlife
It will likely fragment critical wildlife corridors and habitat in Lemon Gulch, replacing a vital natural buffer with high-density housing that disrupts elk, deer, raptor, and prairie dog movement—permanently harming biodiversity and increasing human-wildlife conflicts.
Property Values
Property Values
It could change who we are... from low-density town with open-space charm to a high-density satellite enclave - eroding our premium appeal, flooding the market with sales from denser housing, potentially devaluing our existing properties.
